Detailed Description

In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

In some embodiments, an aerosol-generating device 10 is provided that is flexible in adjusting the mouth feel as desired, without requiring a pre-set humidification time to meet mouth feel requirements, and to meet the user's immediate smoking needs.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, in some embodiments, a mouth feel adjusting method is provided, which can be applied to the aerosol-generating device 10 to flexibly adjust the mouth feel of the aerosol-generating device 10 to meet different needs and suitable mouth feels.

As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the mouthfeel adjusting method comprises the following steps:

and step S100, receiving a trigger instruction and detecting a pumping signal. In this way, when the control module 100 receives a corresponding trigger command and detects a suction signal, it can be determined that the user is sucking the aerosol generating device 10.

In particular, the trigger instruction may be sent to the control module 100 of the aerosol-generating device 10 by an external communication device, for example, the trigger instruction may be sent to the control module 100 of the aerosol-generating device 10 by a communication device such as a smartphone, a smartwatch, or a computer. Of course, in other embodiments, the trigger button may be disposed on an outer wall of the aerosol-generating device 10, and the trigger button is pressed to send a corresponding trigger command to the control module 100, and at this time, the trigger button may be electrically connected to the control module 100 through a lead wire.

Specifically, by providing the air pressure sensing element such as the microphone switch in the starting airway 14, when the user sucks, air enters the starting airway 14 and circulates in the starting airway 14, and the air pressure sensing element such as the microphone switch detects the circulation of air flow, so as to send a corresponding suction signal to the control module 100, and thus the control module 100 detects the suction signal.

Wherein, the triggering command and the pumping signal can be corresponding electric signals. The control module 100 may be a single chip, a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), or other control elements that can be integrated on the aerosol-generating device 10.

And S200, responding to the trigger instruction, controlling the substance generator to input release components into the suction channel so as to form aerosol with preset taste. Thus, the control module 100 can determine that the user is sucking the aerosol generating device 10 when receiving the trigger command and the suction signal. Thereby control module 100 can control substance generator 200 response trigger command, and then makes substance generator 200 supply the user to absorb to the aerosol of the predetermined taste of input in suction channel 11 to can be nimble select or adjust the taste, guarantee the variety of taste, satisfy different demands.

Wherein, the aerosol with preset taste is input into the suction channel 11 by the substance generator 200, which can be realized by ultrasonic vibration, electric heating or negative pressure pumping by high-speed airflow, and the like, and only the aerosol with preset taste is required to be input into the suction channel 11.

In some embodiments, the trigger instruction is sent to the control module 100 of the aerosol-generating device 10 using a cell phone. When the aerosol generating device 10 needs to be sucked, the preset mouth feel is selected on the APP of the mobile phone or the terminal with the graphic user interface, and the corresponding trigger instruction is sent to the control module 100, and when the control module 100 receives the trigger instruction and the suction signal, the substance generator 200 is controlled to input the aerosol with the preset mouth feel into the suction channel 11.

In addition, an insertion opening 13 into which a cigarette 1000 (a cigarette product formed by wrapping a tobacco material with a cigarette paper, wherein the tobacco material may be cut tobacco, herbal material, flavor material, caffeine, nicotine salt, etc.) is inserted may be provided at the lower end of the suction channel 11, and a suction opening 12 is formed at the upper end of the suction channel 11. Thus, when the cigarette 1000 is inserted into the mouth 13 and the aerosol generating device 10 is drawn by a user at the suction opening 12, the real smoke generated by the combustion of the cigarette 1000 enters the suction channel 11 and enters the user's mouth through the suction opening 12. It should be noted that the aerosol in the present application may be liquid-formed particles, and/or oil-formed particles, and optionally, solid particles, with a particle size generally between 0.01 and 100 μm.

In some embodiments, the trigger instruction comprises at least one of humidity, concentration, efficacy substance, negative ion and ultraviolet trigger instruction, the release component comprises at least one of humidity release component, concentration release component, efficacy substance release component, negative ion release component and ultraviolet release component, and each trigger instruction corresponds to input of one release component. It can be understood that different functional instructions are correspondingly formed by setting the trigger options of different functional options at the APP, and the different functional instructions correspondingly control the substance production device to output different release components. In this embodiment, the release component may be a humidity release component that affects humidity, a concentration release component that affects aerosol concentration, an effective substance release component that affects aerosol taste, an anion release component that increases aerosol anions, and an ultraviolet release component that decomposes aerosol tar.

In some embodiments, in step S100, the method further includes: and S110, detecting that the real smoke flows into the suction channel 11. Thus, the cigarette 1000 is inserted into the mouth 13, the user sucks the aerosol generating device 10 at the suction port 12, when the smoke detection element detects that the real smoke generated by burning the cigarette 1000 enters the suction channel 11, a corresponding detection signal is sent to the control module 100, and meanwhile, the control module 100 receives the trigger instruction and the suction signal, and can judge that the user sucks the aerosol generating device 10. The control module 100 can control the substance generator 200 to respond to the trigger instruction, so that the substance generator 200 inputs aerosol with preset taste into the suction channel 11, and the aerosol with the preset taste and the real smoke generated by burning the cigarette 1000 are mixed for a user to suck, thereby improving the taste.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, in some embodiments, the mist outlet of the substance generator 200 is disposed between the suction port 12 and the insertion port 13, the smoke detection element such as a smoke sensor is disposed in the suction passage 11, and the smoke detection element such as a smoke sensor is disposed at a position close to the insertion port 13. Insert the cigarette 1000 in the mouth 13, when the user smokes at suction opening 12, the real cigarette flue gas that cigarette 1000 burning produced gets into in the suction passageway 11 and moves towards being close to suction opening 12, thereby make smoke detection component such as smoke transducer detect the real cigarette flue gas, and then send corresponding detection signal to control module 100, and simultaneously, when control module 100 received trigger command and suction signal, control module 100 control material generator 200 input the aerosol of predetermineeing the taste in to suction passageway 11, thereby make the real cigarette flue gas that moves towards being close to suction opening 12 mix with the aerosol of predetermineeing the taste and flow out from suction opening 12 and be used for the user to absorb.

Optionally, after step S110, the method further includes: and S111, when the trigger instruction is a humidity trigger instruction, detecting the humidity of the aerosol in the suction channel at present. In this way, the humidity of the real flue gas entering the suction channel 11 is detected by a humidity detection element such as a humidity sensor, and the humidity detection result is transmitted to the control module 100. S113, aerosol with desired humidity is input into the suction channel 11 according to the humidity. In this step, if the humidity of the aerosol is smaller than the humidity threshold corresponding to the humidity trigger instruction, the humidity release component input into the suction channel is increased to form the aerosol with the taste corresponding to the humidity trigger instruction; if the current humidity of the aerosol is larger than the humidity threshold value corresponding to the humidity trigger instruction, reducing or temporarily stopping the humidity release component input into the suction channel to form the aerosol with the taste corresponding to the humidity trigger instruction. Thus, the control module 100 controls the substance generator 200 to input aerosol with desired humidity into the suction channel 11 according to the humidity detection result, so that the real smoke and the aerosol with desired humidity are mixed and flow out from the suction port 12, and the taste is further improved.

When the aerosol is input into the suction channel 11 by the substance generator 200 in a vibration mode, the humidity of the aerosol can be adjusted by adjusting the vibration power; when the aerosol is input into the suction channel 11 by the substance generator 200 in a heating manner, the humidity of the aerosol can be adjusted by adjusting the heating power; when the substance generator 200 inputs aerosol into the suction channel 11 by means of high-speed airflow to draw negative pressure, the humidity of the aerosol can be adjusted by adjusting the magnitude of the negative pressure.

Specifically, in step S111, the method includes: s1111, acquiring the current output power of the substance generator 200 and the working time under the current output power; s1112, obtaining a humidification parameter according to the current output power and the working duration; and S1113, obtaining the humidity in the suction channel according to the suction times and the humidification parameters. In this way, the control module 100 is used to obtain the current output power and the working time of the substance generator 200, so as to obtain the corresponding humidification parameter, i.e., the work amount of the released component output by the substance generator 200, according to the current output power and the working time of the substance generator 200, and then obtain the pumping frequency according to the obtained pumping signal frequency. Wherein, the higher the suction frequency, the more frequent the suction is, so as to reduce the humidity in the suction channel 11, and further the humidification parameter needs to be increased, for example, when the suction frequency is 5 times, the amount of work of the substance generator is controlled to be increased, so as to make the humidity in the suction channel 11 be in the preset humidity value or humidity range. Increasing the humidification parameter may be accomplished by increasing the current output of the mass generator 200 or by increasing the operating time of the mass generator 200. The judgment of the pumping frequency can be judged according to the triggered frequency of the microphone switch, further, the dynamic regulation of the humidity can be realized by establishing the relation between the triggered frequency of the microphone, the pumping time and the current output power of the material generator 200 and the working time of the material generator 200, and by the arrangement, the humidity can be controlled more accurately by matching the dynamic parameters, and the user needs can be met.

Further, in step S113, the method further includes: s1131, the humidity of the aerosol is detected again, and if the detected humidity deviates from the desired humidity, the suction channel 11 is assisted in humidification. Like this, further detect the humidity of aerosol through humidity detecting element such as the humidity transducer that sets up in suction channel 11 to, transmit the testing result to control module 100, if there is the deviation in the humidity of aerosol and expectation humidity, can assist the humidification in suction channel 11 through bypass channel 15, thereby adjust the humidity of aerosol, until the humidity of aerosol reaches the expectation humidity. For example, when the humidity of the aerosol is small, the humidity of the aerosol may be increased by the auxiliary humidifying element 300 of the bypass passage 15. The auxiliary humidifying element 300 can adjust the humidity by vibrating, heating or sucking negative pressure. Similarly, when the mixed gas of the aerosol with the preset taste and the real smoke gas flows out of the suction port 12, the humidity of the mixed gas is detected and adjusted.

Optionally, after step S111 and before step S113, the method further includes: and S1121, detecting the humidity of the external environment. S1122, comparing the humidity of the external environment with the humidity in the suction channel to obtain a comparison parameter. And S1123, correcting the expected humidity according to the comparison parameters. Therefore, utilize humidity detecting element such as a humidity transducer to detect outside ambient humidity and transmit the testing result to control module 100, utilize humidity detecting element such as another humidity transducer to detect the humidity in the suction channel and transmit the testing result to control module 100, control module 100 compares two testing results, thereby obtain corresponding comparison parameter, thereby can adjust the expected humidity of the aerosol that material generator 200 input to suction channel 11 according to comparison parameter, make expected humidity more accurate, promote the taste. For example, when the external environment humidity is relatively high and the humidity in the suction channel is relatively low, in order to avoid the interference of the external environment humidity to the desired humidity (the interference mainly includes low internal humidity and high external humidity, and if the high-humidity air is supplemented, the humidity in the suction channel rises to a high degree), the control module 100 may control the substance generator 200 to correspondingly reduce the current output power, so as to avoid the desired humidity being relatively high; and, when the external environment humidity is small and the humidity in the suction channel is large, in order to avoid the interference of the external environment humidity to the desired humidity, the control module 100 may control the substance generator 200 to correspondingly decrease and increase the current output power, and avoid the desired humidity being low. Further, the scheme of this embodiment may also be applied to an embodiment that opens the bypass channel 15 to adjust the concentration of the aerosol, when the bypass channel 15 is opened, the external airflow may enter through the bypass channel 15, and the scheme of this embodiment is set before the step of opening the bypass channel 15, so that the humidity of the external airflow may be obtained in advance, thereby determining the influence of the external airflow on the humidity of the suction channel after entering the suction channel, and further controlling the substance generator 200 to adjust the current output power. The adjustment form refers to the foregoing embodiments, and is not described herein again.

Optionally, in step S110, the method further includes: and filtering the real smoke. So, filter the big granule debris of mixing in the real cigarette flue gas through modes such as electrostatic absorption, filter screen filtering for the taste of real cigarette flue gas is better.

In some embodiments, when the amount of the release component is at least one and no real smoke is detected to flow into the smoking channel, the at least one release component generates aerosol with preset mouthfeel after physical or chemical reaction in the smoking channel, wherein the efficacy material release component can be mint material which is partial to throat, fruity material, chocolate material and the like; the concentration release component can be aerosol formed by atomizing 20% concentration tobacco tar, can also be aerosol formed by atomizing 50% concentration tobacco tar, and can also be aerosol formed by atomizing 80% concentration tobacco tar; the moisture-releasing component may be water vapor up to 35% moisture, or may be water vapor up to 40% moisture, or may be water vapor up to 65% moisture. In some embodiments, the functional substance solution absorbed by the discharge tip wicking member of the substance generator is activated to transport negative oxygen ions to the aspiration channel; the liquid medicine absorbed by the non-woven cotton is permeated by the net-shaped magnetostrictive material in the negative ion generating chamber, the material is pressed into a special shape and then is firmly connected to the electromechanical transducer, and the mechanical vibration energy generated by the transducer is amplified and focused to the end face, so that a large amount of negative oxygen ions are generated by excitation between air and the liquid surface at a certain temperature and a certain vibration frequency. As with high velocity water flow or high voltage breakdown discharge, but the latter is accompanied by ozone which is extremely harmful to the human respiratory organs. The device has negative oxygen ions without ozone and generates liquid medicine atomization at the same time, nano-scale fullerene materials are used as release tips, the materials are close to superconductivity, the resistance is almost zero, the negative ions can be released only by weak current, the released negative ions are pure ecological negative ions which are equal to the natural world, zero ozone is released, after the negative ions are inhaled by people, smoke like paper smoke can be spitted in the mouth, drug water mist cloud is generated by the device, and the transduction crystal in the negative ion generation chamber is converted into mechanical vibration at an inherent frequency point after electric energy oscillation frequency is supplied. And/or the substance generator comprises an ultraviolet light source arranged in the suction channel, and the ultraviolet light source transmits ultraviolet light to the suction channel. Of course, the release component can also be a combination of a humidity release component, a concentration release component, an efficacy substance release component, an anion release component and an ultraviolet release component, and can be flexibly combined or adjusted according to requirements.

Also, the number of the substance generators 200 may be adapted to the adjustment manner of the taste, for example, six substance generators 200 are used to input a humidity releasing component, a concentration releasing component, an efficacy substance releasing component, an anion releasing component, and an ultraviolet releasing component into the suction passage 11, respectively. It is also possible to provide one substance generator 200 with at least two oil reservoirs for holding different taste vapours, and to adjust the taste by connecting different oil reservoirs to the suction channel 11 and atomizing the flavour vapours in the oil reservoirs by means of the substance generator 200.

Optionally, in step S200, the method includes: at least two kinds of mist are input into the suction channel 11, and the aerosol with the preset taste is obtained after the at least two kinds of mist are mixed and carry out chemical reaction. So, through carrying different types of fog to suction channel 11 in simultaneously for different types of fog intermix and take place chemical reaction, thereby can make the taste of aerosol more changeable, satisfy different user demands.

Optionally, when the amount of the release component is at least one and real smoke is detected to flow into the smoking channel, the release component and the real smoke undergo a physical or chemical reaction in the smoking channel to obtain aerosol with a preset taste. Specifically, the tar can be dissolved and diluted to a certain extent by setting an acidic substance, so that the tar content in the airflow can be reduced. I.e. by providing a nicotine source and a volatile delivery enhancing compound source. For example, by reacting nicotine and a volatile acid (such as pyruvic acid) in the gas phase with each other to form an aerosol of nicotine salt particles that can be inhaled by a user. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps:

example 1

Preparation of 2, 4-dimethyl-1, 3-dioxolane-2-carboxylic acid from pyruvic acid and propylene glycol under acid catalysis:

reacting 2, 4-dimethyl-1, 3-dioxolane-2-carboxylic acid with nicotine in the gas phase to form an aerosol of nicotine 2, 4-dimethyl-1, 3-dioxolane-2-carboxylate particles for inhalation by a user. After the aerosol is inhaled by the user, the nicotine 2, 4-dimethyl-1, 3-dioxolane-2-carboxylate particles are hydrolyzed into nicotine, pyruvic acid and propylene glycol.

Example 2:

preparation of 2- (allyloxy) propionic acid from lactic acid and allyl bromide:

reacting 2- (allyloxy) propanoic acid with nicotine in the gas phase to form an aerosol of nicotine 2- (allyloxy) propanoate particles. After the aerosol is inhaled by the user, the nicotine 2- (allyloxy) propionate particles are hydrolyzed to nicotine and lactic acid.

The boiling points of 2, 4-dimethyl-1, 3-dioxolane-2-carboxylic acid and 2- (allyloxy) propionic acid are similar to the boiling point of nicotine. Thus, the inclusion of one or both of 2, 4-dimethyl-1, 3-dioxolane-2-carboxylic acid and 2- (allyloxy) propanoic acid as a delivery enhancing compound in aerosol-generating systems and aerosol-generating articles according to the invention advantageously allows for an effective reaction stoichiometry to be achieved by heating the nicotine source and the delivery enhancing compound source to substantially the same temperature. This advantageously reduces the complexity and cost of manufacturing the aerosol and ensures the odour-wise feel of the aerosol compared to devices in which the nicotine source and the delivery enhancing compound source may need to be heated to different temperatures in order to achieve an effective reaction stoichiometry.

Optionally, in step S200, the method further includes: and S270, when the trigger instruction is a concentration trigger instruction, detecting the current concentration of the aerosol in the suction channel, and if the concentration is deviated from the preset concentration, controlling the air inflow of the bypass channel 15 to adjust the concentration of the aerosol. So, detect the concentration of aerosol through concentration detection element such as the concentration sensor who sets up in suction channel 11 to, transmit the testing result to control module 100, if there is the deviation in the concentration of aerosol and the concentration of predetermineeing, can be through the air input of control bypass passage 15, thereby adjust the concentration of aerosol, reach the concentration of predetermineeing until the concentration of aerosol. For example, if the current aerosol concentration is greater than the concentration threshold corresponding to the concentration trigger instruction, the air intake amount output to the suction channel is increased, so that the aerosol concentration in the suction channel reaches the concentration corresponding to the concentration trigger instruction, and the concentration release component can be understood as air, at this time, the air intake amount of the bypass channel 15 can be increased to reduce the aerosol concentration; if the concentration of the aerosol is smaller than the concentration threshold value corresponding to the concentration triggering instruction, the air inflow output to the suction channel is reduced, so that the concentration of the aerosol in the suction channel reaches the concentration corresponding to the concentration triggering instruction, the concentration release component can be understood as air, and at the moment, the air inflow of the bypass channel 15 can be reduced, so that the concentration of the aerosol is improved. Similarly, when the mixed gas of the aerosol with the preset taste and the real smoke gas flows out of the suction opening 12, the concentration of the mixed gas is detected and adjusted.

Specifically, a bypass passage 15 communicating with the suction passage 11 may be provided on a side wall of the aerosol-generating device 10, and an element capable of adjusting the amount of intake air, such as a flow regulating valve, may be provided in the bypass passage 15, and the element capable of adjusting the amount of intake air, such as the flow regulating valve, may be electrically connected to the control module 100. In this way, the concentration of the aerosol is adjusted by controlling the amount of intake air of the bypass passage 15.

Wherein the preset concentration can be adjusted or designed according to the actual pumping requirement. Further, after step S270, step S271, which detects the volume of the intake air amount, is also included. And S272, when the volume of the air inflow is larger than a preset volume threshold value, increasing the current output power of the substance generator. In this way, the intake air amount of the bypass passage 15 is detected by using an intake air amount detecting element such as a flow sensor and the like, and the detection result is transmitted to the control module 100, and when the intake air amount of the bypass passage 15 is detected to be greater than the preset volume threshold, in order to avoid the concentration of the aerosol in the suction passage 11 from decreasing, the control module 100 controls the substance generator 200 to increase the current output power, so that the concentration of the aerosol in the suction passage 11 reaches the preset concentration requirement. The preset volume threshold value can be flexibly adjusted or designed according to actual use conditions, and the concentration of the aerosol in the suction channel 11 can reach the preset concentration requirement only by increasing the current output power of the substance generator 200. It should be noted that the preset volume threshold may be an intake volume value in unit time, in some usage scenarios, it may be determined whether the user performs suction at a large mouth according to the size of the intake volume, and when the user performs suction at the large mouth, the substance generator is controlled to increase the output power, so as to increase the concentration of the atomized aerosol, and avoid the concentration decrease during the suction at the large mouth of the user. The volume of the human body limit exhalation is 5000 ml, and in some embodiments, the preset volume threshold of the intake volume may be set to a range from 200 ml to 5000 ml in a unit time, specifically, 300 ml, 500 ml, 800 ml, 1000 ml, 1200 ml, 1500 ml, 1700 ml, 2000 ml, 2500 ml, 3000 ml, 3500 ml, 4000 ml, and the like.

Wherein, the concentration and the humidity of the aerosol can be adjusted independently or simultaneously according to the actual adjusting requirement.

Optionally, in step S200, the method further includes: s280, learning the mapping relation between the trigger instruction and the preset taste and storing the mapping relation. As shown in fig. 2, in the process that the control module 100 receives the trigger instruction and responds to the trigger instruction to input the aerosol with the preset taste into the suction channel 11, the learning module is used to learn the mapping relationship between the trigger instruction and the preset taste, and the storage module is used to store the mapping relationship between the trigger instruction and the preset taste, so that the mapping relationship can be stored as experience data or expected data, and further the preference or favorite taste of the user can be recorded and stored. And S290, when the suction signal is detected again, inputting the aerosol with the corresponding mouthfeel into the suction channel 11 according to the mapping relation. In this way, when the aerosol generating device 10 is used next time, when the suction port 12 sucks and the control module 100 receives the suction signal, the control module 100 can directly control the substance generator 200 to input the aerosol with the corresponding taste into the suction channel 11 according to the mapping relationship stored in the storage module without receiving the trigger instruction. Of course, the next time the aerosol-generating device 10 is used, the user may still cause the control module 100 to control the substance generator 200 to input aerosol with a corresponding mouth feel into the suction channel 11 by triggering the trigger instruction.

The learning module can be any existing element with data analysis and processing functions. The memory module may be any existing component capable of storing data.

For example, the learning module learns the combination of released components selected by the user for multiple times and the time period for selecting the released components, so as to form a corresponding graph of the selected combination and the time, so as to know the mouth feel that the user wants to achieve in a specific time period every day, and further store the mouth feel as a preferred mouth feel in the storage module, when the aerosol generating device 10 is used next time, only the suction signal needs to be detected, and the control module 100 can control the substance generator 200 to input the aerosol with the corresponding mouth feel into the suction channel 11, so that the user experience can be improved.

Optionally, after step S280, the method further includes: and S281, when the trigger instruction is received again and a suction signal is detected, and the aerosol is input into the suction channel 11 in response to the trigger instruction, modifying the taste of the aerosol according to the mapping relation. In this way, when the aerosol generating device 10 is used next time, the control module 100 receives the corresponding trigger instruction and detects the suction signal, and the control module 100 controls the substance generator 200 to respond to the trigger instruction, so that in the process of inputting the aerosol into the suction channel 11 by the substance generator 200, the taste of the aerosol can be adaptively adjusted and corrected through the mapping relationship, and the taste of the aerosol is better.

For example, the learning module learns that the user selects the mint-flavored aerosol with the concentration of 20% and the humidity of 10% for a plurality of times, so that the mint-flavored aerosol can be stored in the storage module as the preferred taste, when the aerosol generating device 10 is used next time, the control module 100 receives the concentration signal with the concentration of 20% and detects the smoking signal, and when the control module 100 controls the substance generator 200 to input the aerosol with the concentration of 20% into the smoking channel 11, under the action of the learning module and the storage module, the taste of the aerosol can be adaptively adjusted and corrected, so that the control module 100 controls the substance generator 200 to continuously input the mint-flavored aerosol with the humidity of 10% into the smoking channel 11, and the mint-flavored aerosol with the concentration of 20% and the humidity of 10% flows out from the smoking opening 12. In some embodiments, the learning module defines the learned user habits as a common mouthfeel, and the learning module generates a form of the released component that achieves the common mouthfeel and recommends the form of the released component to the user. For example, when the common taste of the user is 50% of humidity, the learning module selects mint in the functional substance release component, and combines 5% of mint functional substance release component with 35% of humidity release component to form a taste similar to the taste of the common taste of the user with 50% of humidity, so that the learning module can select the functional substance more flexibly in the actual use stage of the user. And through the mobile terminal APP of the user, the favorite scene mode selected by each user can be stored and learned, and when the user wants to repeatedly experience the previous taste, the stored scene mode can be directly selected.

Optionally, after step S200, the method further includes: s291, detecting the duration of the puff signal, matching the duration with the current output power of the substance generator 200. Because the duration of each suction signal may be different, and an excessive duration or an excessively short duration may affect parameters such as the concentration or the humidity of the aerosol in the suction channel 11, the duration of the suction signal is detected by using a timer or the like, the detection result is transmitted to the control module 100, and the control module 100 correspondingly adjusts the current output power of the substance generator 200, so that the current output power of the substance generator 200 matches the duration of the suction signal, thereby reducing or eliminating the influence of the duration of the suction signal on the parameters such as the concentration or the humidity of the aerosol, and ensuring the taste of the aerosol. For example, when the duration of the suction signal is longer, it is determined that the user is continuously sucking the aerosol in the suction channel, and at this time, the current output power of the substance generator 200 is increased, so that the influences of humidity reduction, concentration reduction and the like caused by the fact that the user is sucking the aerosol for a longer duration can be compensated, and the taste of the aerosol is ensured; when the duration is short, it is determined that the user is not continuously sucking the aerosol in the suction channel, and the current output power of the substance generator 200 is reduced, so that the influences of humidity rise, concentration rise and the like caused by the short duration can be suppressed, the taste of the aerosol is guaranteed, and thus, the humidity and the concentration of the aerosol can be dynamically and accurately controlled, the electric quantity of the battery can be saved, and the endurance time of the aerosol generating device is prolonged.

It should be noted that, the transmission or transmission of signals and data can be realized by a wire connection mode or a bluetooth connection mode, and flexible selection can be performed according to actual use conditions, and only the requirement of realizing the transmission or transmission of signals and data is met.
